# Recipes A recipe is a list of required components for manufacturing goods at production facilities. Recipes may contain components of different quality tiers. Unlocking new recipes requires three elements from production owners. ### Research Points The production owner can manufacture goods themselves or lease the facility. Each manufactured item grants research points tied to that specific production building. These essentially represent the building's "experience." The more orders the facility completes and the higher its utilization rate, the faster these points accumulate. ### Investments Unlocking a new recipe requires a payment. After payment, all players gain access to the recipe for production, while the owner earns passive income by setting rental fees. ### Cryptogen This resource can be mined in-game at special deposits located in the most dangerous areas. Cryptogen is the most unstable substance on the station, requiring special containers - craftable in light industry - for safe storage and transport. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
